Well...how about turn a 55 gallon drum into swiss cheese? Well, they can, and did today.
In an attempt to see what our Hawks can do, Bobby took our Rogers' Rangers Spike Hawk and blew holes through the side walls of the drum with the spike end to test the edge geometry and heat treat....absolutely no damage. His wife Brenda thought someone shot the drum with a 30/30, the holes were so big! In Bobby's words, "..it was like puttin' holes in a milk carton!" See what just good ole' fashion, power strokes with an RR Hawk can do!!!
Then, he took the Rogers' Rangers Light Infantry Hawk to the lid, thinking he would cut a swath with the edge, and then use a SawzAll to take off the rest of the lid......well, the saw never "saw" the drum. After the first chop, Bobby chopped the rest of the lid out like lightening! Only a blunted edge resulted. Our hand forged 5160 is truly, TOUGH!!!
Expect some streaming video of this test on our website by next week.
Yours in Tomahawks "Unplugged"!!!
